1
Muddle the mint and sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves with the sugar to release the mint oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
2
Add lime juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass with the mint and sugar mixture. You can also add the other half for extra flavor, if desired. Stir gently to combine.
3
Add rum
Pour the white rum into the glass and stir gently to mix with the muddled mint, sugar, and lime juice.
4
Add ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to your preference, leaving some room at the top for the soda.
5
Top with club soda
Pour the club soda over the ice and cocktail mixture. Stir gently to combine all ingredients without losing too much of the carbonation.
6
Garnish and serve
Garnish your Mojito with an additional sprig of fresh mint and a slice of lime, if desired. Serve with a straw and enjoy your refreshing cocktail!
